Looks good man! Older bikes have more character.

Your going to love it every time somebody asks how old your bike is. Chances are it will be older than they are. Enjoy it and be safe.

Here are some photos... I changed the bars on the bike! The kids seem to like it and so does the wife!

1972 XLCH - Kick Start issues
My First Harley, first problem that showed up was the kick start slipping. The fix? The thrust washer was too thin allowing the starting gear to just engage a little. I replaced the thrust washer and it never slipped again. FYI, I haven't had this bike for 30 years but my knee never forgot. I love Harleys, always have, always will.
